Gentlemen:
This concerns your transmittal dated March 19, 2007 providing your request for a
jurisdictional determination of a parcel of land within Sections 13 and 14, Township 18
S, Range 63E and Sections 7, 18, 19 and 20 in Clark County, approximately 15 miles
northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. This parcel was previously determined non-
jurisdictional by this office in 1993 ( 199300587).
Based on the information provided, and based also on a subsequent field
verification by this office, we determined that the parcel falls within an isolated basin and
does not have a nexus to interstate commerce. Therefore, a Department of the Army
permit is not required for the development of this site.
This determination is valid for five years from the date of this letter, unless new
information warrants revision of the determination before the expiration date. A
Notification of Administrative Appeal Options and Process and Request for Appeal Form
is enclosed. If you wish to appeal this approved jurisdictional determination, please
follow the procedures on the form. You should provide a copy of this letter and notice to
all other affected parties, including any individual who has an identifiable and substantial
legal interest in the property. Please refer to number 2007-461-SG in any correspondence
concerning this project. If you have any questions, please contact me at our St. George

dead animal waste. Republic has a gas capture and collection system with an internal combustion
enclosed combustor (Callidus Flare) capable of burning at 29.40 MMBtu/hr or 1,000 cubic foot per
minute (EU: W07). The landfill gas capture and collection system is designed to capture
approximately 75 percent of the landfill gas generated, leaving approximately 25 percent as
fugitive emissions. This Part 70 Operating Permit is issued based on the Authority to Construct
application (AQR12.4.3.2.b) submitted on December 14, 2010, and supplemental information
submitted on March 21, 2011. This is a minor revision to the Part 70 Operating Permit.

RE: Requesting Approval to use Leachate for Dust Control at the Apex Class I Landfill
After reviewing your request and the infonnation provided to the Clark County Health District by
the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection the Health District is approving your request
to use leachate for dust control over the lined portions of the Class I landfill. The leachate can only
be applied to the top of existing cover material on lined portions of the landfill to help stabilize the
dust and enhance the desert pavement effect. Any run-off from the application of the leachate must
be controlled and diverted from areas where liners do not exist on the landfill property. Also, no
leachate run-off can leave the confmes of the landfill. If this occurs, you will be subject to
enforcement under Chapter 444. If you have any questions, please give me a call at 383-1274.

Dear Mr. Savage:
RE: Apex Regional Waste Management Center
Use of Leachate as Dust Control Over Lined Portions
As we discussed in the past, the Clark County Health District requested Republic to
obtain the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's (NDEP) opinion on the use of
leachate for dust control over lined portions of the landfill. Therefore, in a March 12,
2001, correspondence to the NDEP, Republic requested approval for the use of leachate
as dust control over lined portions of Lhe landfill.
Please find enclosed with this correspondence a copy.of.NDEP,' s May 11. 2001, response
to Republic's request. NDEP has approved the use ofleachate for dust control over lined
portions of the landfill. As such, Republic submitts this correspondence as a revision to
the Operations Plan to allow for the use ofleachate as dust control over lined p011ions of
the landfill.

Thank you for your letter dated December 16, 1993. After reviewing the information
supplied by your office the staff of the Storm water Program concur that your sites do not require
a stormwater permit at this time. We have therefore removed Apex Soil Treatment, Apex
Transfer Station, and Apex Landfill from the general stormwater permit.
Thank you for your interest in the Storm water Program. If you have any further question
feel free to call me at (702) 687-4670 extension 3153.

Dear Mr. Tidwell:
This letter is in response to your December 18, 2009 request for revalidation for a non-jurisdictional
determination on the Apex Waste Management Facility. The project is located in Sections 18, 19,
and 20, Township 18 South, Range 64 East, and Sections 13 and 24, Township 18 South, Range 63
East, Mount Diablo Base and Meridian, Apex, Clark County, Nevada. The project area is part of a
dry lake playa that drains internally and is considered a closed basin.
Based on the information you have provided, past jurisdictional determinations, and previous site
visits to the closed basin, we have determined that the proposed work is exempt from Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act. Therefore, a Department of the Army Permit is not required for this work.
1bis verification is valid for five years from the date of this letter.
Our disclaimer of jurisdiction is only for this activity as it pertains to Section 404 of the Federal
Clean Water Act and does not refer to, nor affect jurisdiction over any waters present on site.
Other Federal, State, and local laws may apply to your activities. Therefore, in addition to
contacting other Federal and local agencies, you should also contact state regulatory authorities
to determine whether your activities may require other authorizations or permits.
We appreciate your feedback. At your earliest convenience, please tell us how we are doing by
completing the customer survey on our website under Customer Service Survey.
Please refer to identification number SPK-2007-00461 in any correspondence concerning this
project. If you have any questions, please contact Patricia Mcqueary at 321 North Mall Drive,

Gentlemen:
This concerns your transmittal dated March 19, 2007 providing your request for a
jurisdictional determination of a parcel of land within Sections 13 and 14, Township 18
S, Range 63E and Sections 7, 18, 19 and 20 in Clark County, approximately 15 miles
northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. This parcel was previously determined non-
jurisdictional by this office in 1993 (199300587).
Based on the information provided, and based also on a subsequent field
verification by this office, we determined that the parcel falls within an isolated basin and
does not have a nexus to interstate commerce. Therefore, a Department of the Army
permit is not required for the development of this site.
This determination is valid for five years from the date of this letter, unless new
infonnation warrants revision of the determination before the expiration date. A

Re: Submittal of Revised Dam Application for Review by
of Conservation and Natural Resources, Division of Water Resources for the Apex
Regional Landfill
Dear Mr. Anderson:
On December 6, 2007, Shaw Environmental, Inc. (Shaw) on the behalf of Republic Services
of Southern Nevada submitted an application for the permitting of two retention basins
proposed for construction at the Apex Regional Landfill located in Clark County, Nevada .
According to the Division of Water Resources classification, both basins classify as dams.
The applications have been reviewed by the Division of Water Resources (DWR). On
February 1, 2008 an email from DWR was received by Mr. Alan Gaddy of Republic
Services. The email included several comments and questions related the application
submitted.
The two basins proposed for permitting at this time have been designated Basin No. 1 (DWR
tracking no. J608) and Basin No. 2 (DWR tracking no. 1609). Basin No. 1 is located adjacent
to the next landfill module to be constructed at the site, MA-9. Basin No.2 is located next to
the subsequent landfill module to be constructed at the site, MA-11. Currently only final
construction plans for Basin No. 1 have been competed and submitted for review. Shaw and
Republic Services recognize that the Basin No. 2 final design must be completed and
approved by DWR prior to a permit for this basin being issued. Therefore, Republic Services
is only pursuing the permitting of Basin No. 1 at this time with the intention of pursing the
Basin No. 2 permit within the near future.
Provided below are responses to the comments received in the email that pertain to Basin No.
1. The DWR comments are presented in italics followed by the Shaw response.

I.A Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
During the period beginning on the effective date of this permit, and lasting until
the permit expires, the Permittee is authorized to discharge from Outfalls 001,
002, and 003, as described below.
Outfall 001: Outlet of maintenance building holding tank. Wastewater
resulting from washing vehicles and the building interior is treated
in a 2000 gallon sand-oil separator, stored in a 5000 gallon
holding tank, then discharged to water trucks for application as
dust control water within the lined portion of the landfill.
Backwash, regeneration, and reject water from the drinking water
treatment system is also discharged to the holding tank. The
drinking water system consists of water softening, reverse
osmosis, and filtration; and is used to render water from the on-
site well potable.
Outfall 002: Scale House septic system leachfield. Plumbing fixtures in the
guard shack consist of one toilet and one lavatory sink in the
restroom that flow into a 1000 gallon septic tank and out into a
1 000 gpd leachfield.
Outfall 003: Maintenance building septic system leachfield. A restroom,
kitchen, shower, janitorial facilities and drinking fountains
discharge into a 2500 gallon septic tank and then out into a 2250
gallon per day (gpd) leachfield with a distribution box and dosing
tank.
The discharges shall be limited and monitored as specified below:

RE: Renewal of Discharge Permit #NEV95010 for Republic Dumpco
Dear Mr. Tidwell:
Jim Gibbons, Governor
Allen Bia9gi, Director
Lea M. Drozdoff, P.E., Administrator
Pursuant to Nevada Revised Statute 445A.495, the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection
("NDEP") has reviewed the renewal application for Discharge Permit NEV95010. Copies of the draft
permit conditions, fact sheet, and public notice were sent to your office and the Clark County Board of
County Commissioners for review and comments. The public notice was also published in the Las Vegas
Review Journal and sent to interested persons and governmental agencies on NDEP's electronic
notification e-mail list. During the 30-day public notice period which closed at 5:00P.M. on June 12,
2009, NDEP did not receive any written comments or inquiries. Therefore, NDEP made the decision to
issue the enclosed discharge permit for a period of five (5) years. This pennit action does not constitute a
significant change from the tentative determinations set forth in the public notice.
In accordance with the permit conditions, an annual review and services fee to maintain the discharge
permit is due on July 1, 2010 and every year thereafter until the permit is terminated.
Should you have any questions in regards to this permit action, please call me at (775) 687-9429.
Sincerely,

4.0 INTRODUCTION
The following Report of Design for the Apex Regional Landfill has been prepared in accordance with
Nevada Administrative Code (NAC) 444.680. This report provides design details for the entire design of
the Apex Regional Landfill Class I Disposal Site. The original Report of Design for disposal units at the
Apex Regional Landfill was prepared by Vector Engineering in 1993. Vectors report included disposal
units for the entire Apex Regional Landfill that formed the basis for the current operating permit Nos.
LF001-G3X-01 and LF002-G3X-01. Permit No. LF001-G3X-01 is a Class III disposal permit for 218 acres
and 81 million cubic yards (cy) of disposal capacity and Permit No. LF002-G3X-01 is a Class I disposal
permit for 1,015 acres and 784 million cy of disposal capacity. This report proposes to combine the
current industrial disposal area (Class III) as part of the existing municipal solid waste disposal areas
(Class I) under one permit.
The current permits reflect a total 1,233 acres of municipal solid waste disposal area with a total design
capacity of 865 million cy to a maximum elevation of 2,900 feet above mean sea level (msl). A revised
Design Report was completed in 1997 for both the municipal and industrial waste disposal areas as
reflected in comments made to these reports by the SNHD in a J uly 1999 letter. Changes made in this
2012 revision increase the usable disposal area to 1,722 acres with the total airspace remaining 865
million cubic yards.
The Apex Regional Landfill (landfill) is owned and operated by Republic DUMPco, Inc. (Republic). In
August 1997, the assets of Silver State Disposal and DUMPco were acquired by Republic Services Inc.
(then called Republic Industries Inc.). The landfill is located 15 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada at the
intersection of Interstate 15 and Highway 93
This report and associated drawings have been prepared under the direct supervision and responsible
charge of Randall V. Wall, Nevada Professional Engineer No. 13746. Detailed drawings, specifications
and Construction Quality Assurance Manuals for the site are on file and updated as needed according to
industry standards.
4.1 Miscellaneous
4.1.1 Service Area
Apex Regional Landfill currently serves the greater Las Vegas Area including the cities of Las Vegas,
North Las Vegas, and Henderson along with most of the unincorporated areas of Clark County, Nevada.
The current population base of Clark County Nevada is nearly 1.4 million people. Out-of-state waste may
also be accepted.

4.1.2 Signs
The general site information presented on a sign at the site entrance includes the name of the owner,
hours of operation, materials accepted and excluded and fees charged for disposal. Tab 8.1, Figure 1
presents the location of this sign and all other signs on site for traffic flow and other needs.
4.1.3 Waste Management Areas
4.1.3.1 Waste Management Areas
To date, approximately 295 acres of landfill area have been developed for refuse disposal. The first two
municipal solid waste units were constructed in 1993 and are designated MA-1 and IA-1. These units
were designed and constructed following the Nevada Administrative Code and were approved for use by
the South Nevada Health District (SNHD). The design of these units include the use of a Gundseal
TM

liner comprised of 60-mil High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) geomembrane with a bentonite soil layer
adhered to the bottom of the geomembrane to provide a composite liner. This liner product was placed
over natural ground subgrade as described in construction quality assurance documents on file at the
Health District. Cell IA-1 was constructed with a secondary Gundseal
TM
liner below a leak detection
geocomposite drainage layer with a layer of 60-mil HDPE geomembrane above the geocomposite to
create a double liner for industrial waste area.
In 1994 an Alternative Liner Design was approved for the site, is provided in Tab 16, 2. The Alternative
Liner Design, allowed under Federal regulations, takes into consideration site specific factors such as the
geology and hydrogeology of the site for approving liner systems. The design involved placing a 60-mil
HDPE geomembrane over a thin layer of prepared soil subgrade, followed by 1-foot thick permeable
cover soil to protect the liner. Areas of the landfill with sloped surfaces greater than or equal to 2 to 1,
horizontal to vertical, do not have to be lined according to permit conditions. This condition
accommodates the mountainous terrain of the landfill.
In 1994, Cell MA-2 was constructed with this Alternative Liner Design. In 1995, MA-3 was constructed,
and in 1997, Cell MA-4 was constructed, each following the approved Alternative Liner Design.
In August 1998, Republic contracted with EMCON to create Specifications for the Construction of
Lining and Leachate Collection Systems, v. 1 (herein after refer to as Specifications v.1) for the Apex
Regional Landfill to formalize the 1994 approved Alternative Liner Design for the landfill. These
specifications added more conservative elements to the Alternative Liner Design including a requirement
for at least six inches of soil bedding placed above the subgrade, upon which the 60-mil HDPE
geomembrane would be placed, followed by at least six inches of Select Fill permeable material,
followed by at least 12 inches of Random Fill soil to protect the underlying layers.

Tab 4 Design Report

In early 1999, Republic constructed Cells MA-0 and IA-2 following the Alternative Liner Design and
Specifications v.1, and once again, the IA-2 cell unit included an additional Gundseal
TM
secondary liner
and geocomposite leak detection layer.
In September 1999, Cell MA-5 was constructed following the Alternative Liner Design and Specifications
v.1 and in J une 2001, MA-6 was constructed using an April 2001, rev 2, to the Specifications and the
Alternative Liner Design. Revision 2 to the Specification changed errors noted with the Specification v.1
calling for 12 inches of Select Fill above the geomembrane liner, when only six inches was intended and
constructed.
In February 2003, Republic constructed Cell MA-7 with Specifications v.2. In May 2004, Cell MA-8 was
constructed using the Alternative Liner Design and an April 2004 version 3 of the Specifications.
Specification v.3, April 2004 was revised to present details of construction soils within Section 02225 for
Cell MA-8 rather than descriptions applicable to any cell built following the Specifications.
In J une 2006, Cell MA-10 was constructed, following the Alternative Liner Design and referenced a
revision to the Specifications updated in March 2006, but still called v.3. This revision updated
geosynthetic liner construction quality control parameters which reflected current industry standards for
HDPE Manufacturing according to the Geosynthetic Research Institutes standard test GM-13.
In April 2007, Cell MA-21 was constructed following the J une 2006 revision to the Specifications and the
Alternative Liner Design. In November 2009, MA-9 was also constructed according to the Cell MA-10
Alternative Liner Design.
Each of these specification revisions meet the basis of the original approved Alternative Liner Design
intent and are on file with the Health District.
Provided below is a table that summarizes the disposal cell construction dates.

Each of the designs and CQA reports presented in Table 1 were prepared by engineers are registered in
the State of Nevada.
Refer to Tab 9, Figure 9.1 for an aerial photograph which depicts the current landfill development. Plan
drawings and sections are provided on 24x36 sheets at a scale of 1 inch equals 200 feet in Volume 2 of
this report. Reduced drawings are presented in this Volume on 11 by 17 sheets for easy reference and

4.1.3.2 Site Seismicity
According to Vector's initial Operations Report, United States Geological Survey (USGS) map MF-916,
Preliminary Map of Young Faults in the United States as a Guide to Possible Fault Activity, shows no
J une 2014

Tab 4 Design Report

evidence of Holocene faulting in the Las Vegas area. Rogers, et al. (1983) USGS Open-File Report 83-
669 indicates that most northwest trending faults within the Southern Great Basin, including the Las
Vegas shear zone, are inactive. By contrast, many faults of north to northeast orientation are active, using
evidence of late Quaternary displacement or current seismicity. Rogers, et al. (1983) concluded that faults
with a north to northeast trend should be considered potentially active in the Yucca Mountain area, though
geologic evidence and a current near absence of seismicity indicate they are not active.
Earthquakes in the Southern Great Basin occur at depths of up to 10 kilometers with no evidence that
they occur on listric faults, which are characterized by dips that shallow with depth (Rogers, et aI., 1983).
Rogers, et al. (1983) concluded that the earthquakes in the region are occurring on faults of significant
vertical extent. In contrast, north trending faults mapped by Longwell (1965) at the Apex Regional Landfill
are shallow angle thrust or reverse faults formed under a compressional tectonic regime during the
Cretaceous period, over 65 million years ago. Today, the Southern Great Basin is characterized by
extensional tectonics. Therefore, it is unlikely that the faults originally mapped by Longwell, et al. (1965)
are currently active. Geologic reconnaissance of an area with a 3,000 foot radius of municipal solid waste
landfill Cells IA and MA indicates no evidence of Holocene faulting. Field investigations conducted by
Vector and others indicated no displacement of alluvial or other surface deposits. A field and aerial
photograph investigation of the area by SEA, Inc., (SEA, 1988) confirmed the existence of thrust faults
mapped by Longwell in 1965, but concluded that there was no evidence of recent movement on the
faults. The SEA study also confirms the absence of any evidence of displacement of surface sediments.
Therefore, the Apex Regional Landfill satisfies the requirements of 444.6791.
Maps within USGS Open File Report 82-1033, entitled Probabilistic Estimates of Maximum Acceleration
and Velocity in Rock in the Contiguous United States, indicate that the Apex Regional Landfill lies within a
seismic impact zone with a maximum horizontal acceleration of 0.20g with a 10 percent chance of being
exceeded in 250 years. Vector Engineering conducted its own site-specific seismic assessment of the
Apex Regional Landfill utilizing a computer program entitled EQSEARCH. The program uses an
attenuation relation after J oyner and Boore (1982) combined with historical earthquake data for the years
from 1800 to 1991 to calculate the maximum probable ground acceleration experienced in the area
encompassing the site and having a 62-mile radius. The nearest historical earthquake was approximately
1 mile from the site with a maximum Richter magnitude of 5.0. SEA determined that a 1966 event 60
miles away in Clover Mountain had a magnitude 6.1. The computer analysis by Vector produced a
maximum probable ground acceleration of 0.073g with a 4 percent probability of exceedance in 100
years. Based on these findings, a conservative acceleration value of 0.15 g was utilized in all
pseudostatic stability analyses. Pursuant to 444.6793, all containment structures at the Apex Regional
Landfill are designed to resist a minimum peak ground acceleration value of 0.15g.

Tab 4 Design Report

Pursuant to 444.6795, the stability of the Apex Regional Landfill was assessed and the results
incorporated into the overall design. Waste cell designs call for removing the relatively thin layer of
alluvium where present, exposing the bedrock beneath, and replacing the area with compacted fill.
Excavation down to bedrock decreases the likelihood of differential settlement.
A geologic investigation was conducted by SEA in 1988. According to this report, bedrock in the area
consists of limestone and siltstone. These bedrock structures are not likely to move under the proposed
waste loads. Surface soils, where present, generally consist of silty sands with gravel. Caliche is common
within this sparse alluvial covering. No expansive soils are known to exist anywhere on the facility.
Natural slopes around the site are composed almost entirely of well-indurated, relatively erosion-resistant
limestone bedrock. Rockfall potential has been recognized on the western and southern slopes of the
large synclinal ridge located northeast of MA -1.
Liquefaction of embankments, slopes, and soils are believed to be negligible given the lack of loose
sandy soil, depth to groundwater, and low seismic impact zone. There is no indication of karst terrain or
topography in the area.
4.1.4 Facilities
The site is equipped with an administration/maintenance building located approximately one mile east of
the site entrance. The plans for the facility are provided in Tabs 8.5. and 8.6. Generally, the maintenance
facility is a two story building with the administrative offices located on the second floor in the center of the
building. Parts stockroom, equipment maintenance bays and employee restrooms are located on the first
floor. Water is supplied from the water well MW-5 located at the northern perimeter of the site. Waste
water for the maintenance building is discharged to a 2,500 gallon underground septic tank and 2,250
gpd leachfield with distribution box and dosing tank. The layout of this system is presented on Sheet 3 of
4, Utility Plan in Tab 8.6. Waste water for the scalehouse is discharged to a 1,000 gallon septic tank and
1,000 gallon per day (gpd) leachfield.
The layout of this system is presented on Figure 6.1 in Tab 8.6. Waste water resulting from washing
vehicles and the maintenance building interior is treated in a 2,000 gallon sand-oil separator, stored in a
5,000 gallon holding tank, then discharged to water trucks for use as dust control over the lined area of
the landfill.
Onsite wastewater is discharged to septic systems permitted under permit #NEV95010 for the scalehouse
and maintenance building. Permit #NEV93011 was issued for the soil treatment facility from the Bureau of
Water Pollution Control. Permit #NEV2011510 as issued for the leachate holding tanks adjacent to the
H
2
S treatment facility.

Tab 4 Design Report

The site operates a Bioremediation Facility and Liquid Solidification Area in accordance with the Nevada
Division of Environmental Protection Permit No. NEV93011, refer to Figures 1 through 3 in Tab 10.14.
There is one leachate collection sump and one leak detection sump located in pond 4 on the West side of
cell 4. These sumps are accessed with a 6-inch diameter pipe and a-3 inch diameter pipe respectively.
Waste water that meets the requirements of the permit is brought on site for disposal is discharged into
one of ten double lined (second liner provides secondary containment) evaporation ponds. The ponds are
considered one continuous unit because the liner system is continuous throughout the pond area with
earthen berms separating the individual cells beneath the liner system. Waste water disposed of is
evaporated and any residuals are disposed of within the landfill. The bioremediation facility encompasses
approximately 7.5 acres and is located north of the administration/maintenance building. The liquid
solidification area only accepts nonhazardous and non-petroleum-based liquids. All wastes are screened
for hazardous characteristics per applicable state and federal requirements. The approved liquids for
solidification can be mixed with wood chips, sawdust, soil, and/or auto fluff. The residual is landfilled.
Refer to tab 3.10, Industrial Waste Discharge Permit.
The site also operates a landfill gas (LFG) hydrogen sulfide (H
2
S) treatment facility. This facility is an
approximate 8,000 square feet enclosed building approximately equipped with H
2
S gas removal
equipment that is used to pretreat the LFG prior to combustion in turbines used to create electricity. The
energy plant, located on 1.5 acres in the southwestern corner of the site, uses the treated LFG to fuel two
Solar Centaur 60 combustion turbines manufactured by Solar Turbines, a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc.
LFG is drawn from vertical and horizontal wells up to 300 feet deep that tie into a header system that
conveys the LFG to the H
2
S removal system to treat sulfur content. Next, gas is filtered for moisture and
particulates then is compressed and injected into 5.5-megawatt air-cooled turbines that generate
electricity. Emissions are treated by a selective catalytic reduction process that removes harmful nitrogen
oxides from the exhaust plume.
Drinking water for the site is permitted by the Division of Environmental Protection Bureau of Safe Water
Drinking, Permit Number CL 0379 12NTNC presented in Tab 3.12, Drinking Water Approval.
4.2 Air Control
Provisions in place for controlling dust to prevent a public nuisance include water pulls equipped with
spray bars which apply water or leachate (over lined areas) to unpaved haul roads and operating areas
adjacent to the working face. Approval of leachate application for dust control and the overall Title V Part
70 Operating Permit are provided in Tab 3.6.

4.3 Emergency Control
4.3.1 Fire Control
Operating personnel at the Apex Regional Landfill are prepared to provide immediate fire suppression in
the event of any active landfill face or structural fire. A 10,000 gallon water pull contains water for
emergency fire suppression. Fire suppressant systems on site include:
Appropriate placement of fire extinguishers capable of extinguishing fires rated A, B, or C
in conformance with County, State and Federal law
Use of two on-site water wells to maintain a water reservoir with seven million gallons of
available water resources at all times
A fire sprinkler system in the administrative/maintenance building and H

S treatment
facility
A chemical fire suppressant system in the H
2
S treatment facility
Stockpiling of soils near to working face(s) for immediate coverage of detected waste
fires.
Restriction of ignitable liquid materials from the site
The fire control approval is located in Tab 3, Section 3.7.
4.3.2 Pollution Control
The location restriction requires that the sub-soil structure of the Apex Regional Landfill provides a
reasonable assurance that any potential leachate generated from the landfill will not contaminate ground
waters or ephemeral waterways in the area. It also requires that suitable procedures will be followed to
prevent such contamination. Such procedures include:
The installation of a geomembrane liner system
The installation and operation of a leachate collection and removal system to collect
leachate generated in the landfill
The control of storm water to prevent infiltration
The climatic conditions and geologic and hydrogeologic features of the landfill area also help to prevent
groundwater contamination. These features include:
The limestone bedrock that underlies the site
The low annual precipitation and high evapotranspiration rate in the area
The large distance from the ground surface to groundwater
A detailed assessment of these factors is included in the original Design Report (Vector, 1993).
The sites EPA identification number for the landfill is 110027803367.

Recovered liquids and materials used to service vehicles on site are disposed of properly and recycled
where appropriate.
4.3.3 Other Provisions
4.3.3.1 Communication
Site personnel are equipped with radios to allow for direct communication between management and
operating personnel. These radios not only provide an avenue for communication during normal operating
conditions but also provide communication assistance in case of emergency.
4.3.3.2 Emergency Escape Plan
The following contacts are made in the case of an emergency:
1. Contact LVP and KR Drenth (third party haulers)
2. Contact Republic operations supervisors
3. Contact employees
4. Meet at site entrance to discuss further evacuation procedures
As emergency escape plan for the facility is provided in Tab 8.4. This plan addresses emergency
provisions to be followed in the event of an emergency at the disposal area or at the maintenance facility.
4.3.3.3 Flood Control
Vector Engineering determined that the Apex Regional Landfill does not lie within a 100-year floodplain or
a major stream or playa, as designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) refer to
Tab 3.9 and Figure 10-4 in Tab 10.6. A review of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development FEMA Community Panel maps for Clark County unincorporated areas (nos. 320003 0026
and 320003 0027 A) shows that the nearest "Zone A" (100-year flood hazard zone) is approximately two
miles northwest of the site. This Zone A area depicts a portion of the alkali flat known as Dry Lake
4.4 Employees
A large maintenance facility equipped with lockers, a breakroom, restrooms, and a kitchen are provided
for personnel. On the second floor of the maintenance facility building, administrative offices for Republic
management and personnel are located. Wastewater generated from the Maintenance building is
discharged to a leachfield. Plumbing fixtures in the maintenance building consist of a restroom, kitchen,
shower, janitorial facilities and drinking fountains. A 2,500 gallon septic tank and 2,250 gpd leachfield with
distribution box and dosing tank serve this area.
Waste water resulting from washing vehicles and the maintenance building interior is treated in a 2,000
gallon sand-oil separator, stored in a 5,000 gallon holding tank, then discharged to water trucks for use as

dust control over the lined are of the landfill. Backwash, regeneration, and reject water from the drinking
water treatment system is also discharged to the holding tank. The drinking water system consists of
water softening, reverse osmosis, and filtration that is used to treat water from the onsite potable well.
Wastewater from the Hydrogen Sulfide (H
2
S) Treatment Facility operations building is discharged to a
tank and emptied as necessary.
The scale house at the landfill entrance is provided with electricity and restrooms. Communication from
the scale house is provided via telephone and radio. Wastewater generated from the scale house is
discharged to a leachfield. A 1,000 gallon septic tank and 1,000 gallon per day (gpd) leachfield serve this
area.
Refer to Tabs 8.5 and 8.6 for figures presenting the employee facilities.
4.5 Equipment
Equipment utilized at the Apex Regional Landfill is maintained on site at the maintenance facility. The
maintenance building is 22,000 square feet and houses parts, equipment maintenance bays
administrative offices and employee facilities (restrooms, etc.). Drawings presenting the maintenance
building are provided in Tab 8.6.
Pictures of representative pieces of equipment and their associated identification numbers are presented
in Tab 10.2.
4.6 Facility Access
4.6.1 Access Control
The Apex Regional Landfill is an isolated site. This isolation assists in keeping unauthorized vehicular
traffic away from the landfill. There is only one entrance to the site and it is controlled by personnel at the
scale house. Visitors must check in at the scale house prior to entering the site. The natural topographic
barriers around the site prevent access to the landfill other than through the front gate. An attendant is on
duty 24 hours a day at the scale house to control access to the facility.
4.6.2 Access Roads
Primary access to the site is via a paved frontage road from the Highway 93 and Interstate 15
interchange. The access road to the entrance of the facility was constructed by Republic and extends
from the lnterstate 15 frontage road north approximately of a mile where it then turns east into the site.
The roadway is 35-feet wide with 5.5-foot wide shoulders. Culverts and grade dips are located at natural
drainages to control storm water and provide all-weather access. Beyond the entrance, the main site
access road is paved to the maintenance building and landfill area.
J une 2014

Tab 4 Design Report

Access to the current refuse disposal area, MA-East, is provided by two paved and gravel-packed roads.
One road traverses the existing refuse slopes to provide access to the top deck area of the landfill while
the second road extends around the perimeter of the existing refuse disposal areas providing access to
the lower reaches of the landfill. These roads will be extended and maintained over time to provide this
dual access to the site.
The current and future roads will be a minimum of 30 feet wide to allow for two-way traffic. The slope of
the roads may vary from less than 1 to 9 percent to conform to the proposed excavation and fill grades.
Road cross slope will be 2 percent to the toe of slope to promote runoff from the road surface. All roads
used for refuse hauling trucks are constructed and maintained to provide an all-weather surface. Because
the landfill is in continuous flux with new areas being developed for refuse disposal operations, new roads
will be constructed to the criteria set forth above to maintain appropriate access to the site.
Location of the current access roads is shown in Tab 8.7, Figure 7.
4.7 Facility Capacities
The site as designed has an overall fillspace capacity of 865,000,000 cubic yards (cy) from the top of the
operations layer to the bottom of final cover. This fillspace is the volume between the design base grades
and the design final grades for the site excluding the volume taken by the base liner and final cover
quantities. Using a refuse to daily and intermediate cover soil ratio of nine parts refuse to one part soil,
approximately 778,500,000 cy of refuse will be placed to reach final grade. Approximately 57,241,194 cy
of airspace has been consumed as of March 17, 2013, leaving a remaining airspace of 807,758,806 cy.
Based on the current incoming waste stream of 8,491 tons per day and a density of 2,816 lbs/cy, the site
life is estimated to be 468.3 years once the remaining airspace is corrected for base liner and final cover
quantities. The information used to determine the in place airspace utilized to date and the calculation of
the remaining airspace is provided in Tab 13.
The initial Design Capacity Report was prepared by Vector in 1993. The drawings prepared by Vector and
used to determine the initial design capacity of the site are provided in Tab 12.

4.8 Litter Control
Generation of windblown debris at the active working face is a common occurrence at solid waste
landfills. Windblown debris commonly consists of lightweight waste materials blown from the active
working area. It may be generated during the physical unloading of waste from haul vehicles or during
placement. When wind speeds become excessive, debris may be blown from the active area and carried
to other parts of the facility. As wind speeds increase, the quantity of windblown debris in the area may
correspondingly increase.
Climatological data from the site indicates the wind direction at the Apex Regional Landfill is commonly
from the northeast and from the southwest. Permanent and portable litter control fences are positioned
near the active working face in positions consistent with wind direction in order to contain windblown
debris. Debris that is not contained by the litter fences is hand-picked by a staff of Republic employees.
The collection of windblown litter around the site is staffed up and down depending on conditions and
effectiveness of the fences.
The majority of refuse hauling vehicles come to the site utilizing Interstate 15. As such, the stretch of
Interstate 15 from the City of Las Vegas to the landfill undergoes a degree of pollution from windblown
litter that escapes from haul trucks on their way to the landfill. As such, Republic has a program in place
with Adopt a Highway that provides personnel to collect litter from the Interstate 15 ten miles south on the
north side and seven miles on the south side of the Interstate from the landfill to the City of Las Vegas.
4.9 Odor Control
Republic operates the landfill in a manner that minimizes the creation of odors, unsightliness, or other
nuisances. Waste is placed in controlled compacted layers and cover is placed over the top and
sideslopes of completed lifts. The solid wastes are spread and compacted in thin layers, not to exceed
two feet in thickness. Due to the 24-hour operating condition at the site, the active refuse area is
continually covered with incoming waste. Perimeter intermediate slopes created around the active refuse
area are covered with soil or approved alternative daily cover to control odors. This continual filling
operation allows for any waste that may be an odor nuisance to be immediately covered. If odors persist,
soil is placed and compacted over the area to eliminate the nuisance.
The active landfill gas collection system on site also is used to control odors on site. The current landfill
gas system is discussed in section 4.14.2 and presented in Tab 15.

4.10 Public Areas
4.10.1 Buffer Zones
A site plan showing the site and surrounding areas is presented in Tab 8.8, Figure 8.8.
A survey of the area surrounding the Apex Regional Landfill, documented on the World Aeronautical
Chart, CG - 18, 23rd Edition May 27, 1993, indicates that the nearest airport runway is at the Nellis Air
Force Base located approximately 13 miles southwest of the site. Therefore, the landfill does not fall
within the 10,000-foot airport safety requirement for the airstrip; thus satisfying the airport location
restrictions as posed by 444.6783.
The next nearest airport runway is located at Clark County General Aviation Administration, North Las
Vegas Terminal, 2772 North Rancho Drive, Las Vegas. Past communications with this air terminal
indicate that it services primarily piston-type aircraft with very few small jet aircraft entering the terminal.
The air terminal is located 22 miles to the southwest of the landfill, well outside of the 5,000- and 10,000-
foot requirements.
Other airports identified in the region are located in Overton, 27 miles to the northeast and in Glendale, 23
miles to the north. The Overton airpark services small piston type aircraft and also falls outside the 5,000-
foot requirement. The Glendale Airport serves as an emergency landing strip for small aircraft.
Section 444.686 (5) requires that solid waste must not be placed within 200 feet of the boundary line of a
Class I or Class III site unless the appropriate regulatory agency approves a smaller distance. A minimum
50-foot setback has been approved by the SNHD for the industrial area and for all sides of the MA-East
portion of Apex Landfill, refer to Tab 10.4 for the J une 23, 2003 setback approval letter from the SNHD. A
minimum 50-foot offset will be used for the remainder of the site development in accordance the J une 23,
2003 letter, refer to Tab 14, Figure 1 for the proposed final grading plan.
4.10.2 Esthetics
Although the landfill is within 1,000 feet of a public highway, the final cover system is not proposed for
revegetation at closure, the landfill cover will promote natural vegetation to allow the site to blend in with
surrounding topography and visual landscapes. No irrigation of vegetation is planned for the site.
4.10.3 Zoning
On J uly 26, 1993, Republic submitted Zone Change Application No. ZC-1264-93, Conditional Use Permit
Application No. UC-1266-93, and Variance Application No. VC-1266-93 to the Clark County Department
of Comprehensive Planning, Zoning Division. The zoning is M-2 (Industrial) to for Assessor's Parcel
numbers 103-13-000-003, 103-13-000-005, 103-13-000-006, 103-13-000-008, 103-24-000-004, 104-07-

000-002, 104-19-000-003, and 104-20-000-001. The applications are consistent with the proposed heavy
industry use project as proposed by the County Department of Comprehensive Planning in J anuary 1989.
The conditional use permit applications included a landfill for disposal of municipal solid waste, including
industrial waste, with soil borrow areas adjacent to Interstate 15.
A site location map showing the general location of the Apex Regional Landfill is presented in Tab 10.1
and a zoning map in included in Tab 10.5, Figure 10-1. Areas immediately east, north, and south to
Apexs MA-East area are managed by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. Areas northwest and
southwest of the main Apex Regional Landfill within a mile radius are zoned and M-2 (Industrial) and OS
(open space).
4.11 Traffic Control
The site is accessed off of Interstate 15 at the intersection of U.S. Highway 93. A frontage road to the
east of Interstate 15 leads to the site entrance and scale facilities. Once through the scale facilities the
access road travels to the east beneath the railroad tracks and to the active disposal area.
Figures 1 in Tab 8.1 presents the current signage plan and Figure 1 in Tab 8.7 presents the current traffic
flow plan for the site. This basic flow pattern will be used for the remainder of filling within MA-East,
approximately 20 years.
Traffic is predominantly controlled on site through the use of signs. After trucks and/or visitors enter the
site at the scale house, a timed stop light allows one-way traffic through an underpass below the railroad
tracks that cross over the main access road. Once a green light allows one-way traffic to proceed through
the underpass, the paved access road widens to allow for two way traffic after the underpass and
throughout the site. Traffic heads east into the site until the maintenance area is reached where a side
road continues to the east to access the maintenance facility and employee parking area while the main
access road turns to the south. Approximately after mile, the main access road splits into two access
roads. One road traverses the west and south slopes of the existing landfill while the other extends
around the perimeter of the existing disposal area. These two roads provide access to the upper and
lower refuse disposal areas respectively. These roads are posted with speed limits, stop signs and other
traffic control signs as necessary to provide safe traffic control for the site.
Because the site is ever changing due to the ongoing refuse disposal operations at the site, road
locations are revised to accommodate the changing topography. As changes are made, traffic controls
are updated as necessary to provide a safe working environment.
J une 2014

Tab 4 Design Report

The use of dual access roads is planned to be used throughout the life of the landfill. This plan allows for
one road to be shut down while still providing accessible refuse disposal areas. Roads may be closed due
to maintenance needs, relocation or unforeseen occurrences.
4.12 Vector Control
The combination of routine crushing, compaction and covering of the wastes and the climatic conditions
at the site effectively eliminate the potential for insect and rodent problems, which can be carriers
(vectors) of disease.
A designated area at the landfill is provided for public drop-off of dead animals, carrion, slaughterhouse
wastes, and other putrescible wastes. The animals are placed in the designated area in the Class I landfill
and covered with 36 inches of cover material. Republic controls vectors according to NAC 444.6678.
4.13 Waste Measurement
Trucks delivering solid waste to the site are weighed or measured at the scale house before they enter
the landfill. Transfer trucks are weighed before entering and again before leaving the landfill to determine
the weight of waste received from the transfer stations. For other trucks, the waste is measured
volumetrically and the weight estimated using assumed densities for various types of. Over the past five
years the waste inflow to the site has varied greatly from a peak of approximately 13,000 tons per day to
a low of approximately 7,000 tons per day.
Waste is tracked to determine the specific amounts of each type going into the landfill. The types of waste
that are recorded are presented below:
Small Animals
Large Animals

Disposal and waste handling procedures for special waste are presented in Tabs 10.7 and 10.11. No
hazardous waste is accepted for disposal at the landfill.
Topographic maps and other surveys are used to determine the volume of waste placed and the amount
of soil used at the landfill. These records are maintained at the site.
4.14 Waste Processing
4.14.1 Landfill Covers
The proposed alternative cover system design for the landfill consists of an evapotranspirative cover
system composed of on-site soils and 4 feet in thickness. The depth of soil cover may be increased in
some areas, like benches, to allow for the installation of drainage improvements. The cover system
meets the regulatory standard established in NAC 444.6891.
Currently, Republic has a contract in place with a private developer to excavate and process soils to
create construction aggregates from within the landfill footprint for off-site sale. Cover material is currently
processed through this operation. However, depending on the quality of the limestone within a planned
refuse disposal cell, the material may or may not be excavated as part of the ongoing third party quarry
operations at the site. If cover material is not generated within the quarry operation, soil will be obtained
from within the landfill footprint in adjacent cells.
Soil required for cell construction will generally be taken from the quarry operations that process the soils
to the correct gradations for use. Processed soils are typically silty sand and gravels that have proven
effective as soil cover. The soil requirements for the planned site development are summarized below.

excavation is the total excavation from the module construction. The above table does not account for
expansion or contraction of the soil from in-place bank yards to stockpiled or recompacted yards. If
additional soils are needed, they may be obtained from the on-site sand and gravel operations. The
approximate 100,000,000 cy surplus is assumed to be sold off site as aggregate during the life of the
landfill.
The Final Grading Plan, Tab 14 Figure 1, shows final slopes. No areas of the landfill have been closed to

4.14.1.1 Operational Elements of Cover
4.14.1.1.1 Cover at Continuously Operating Landfills
Apex Regional Landfill operates 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week. 155,250 square feet is the approved
open face area that the landfill is restricted to. This approved area allows for safe operations and the
ability to segregate the public from the commercial haulers.
Waste is placed in lifts over an active area of the landfill, and as the tipping floor (i.e. area receiving
waste) moves laterally, cover soil or approved alternative daily cover is placed over the final or
intermediate slopes and top. The soil cover creates a stable floor for vehicular traffic and tipping
operations. As an area is filled with a completed lift, a new lift is begun on top of the old lift. Soil that was
previously used as cover is removed, to the extent possible, to reduce the amount of soil within the landfill
and remove any barriers to the downward migration of liquids. If these soil barriers are not removed,
leachate can move laterally to the exposed slopes. Areas that are not actively receiving waste remain
covered with soil. Continuous waste placement satisfies the requirements for control of disease vectors,
fires, odors, blowing litter, scavenging, and presents no danger to public health or the environment. The
operations described above are currently approved by the SNHD. Based on inspections by the SNHD,
the continuous waste placement operations for control of vectors will be assessed. If additional operating
criteria or revisions to the existing operations are identified to increase the control of vectors, Republic will
work with SNHD to implement additional controls or revise operations as necessary.
Republic is requesting that interim refuse slopes used for waste unloading be constructed with a minimum
slope of one percent, refer to variance request in Tab 10.17, all final slopes will have a minimum of 3%.
The requested one percent slopes facilitate the safe operation of tippers (hydraulic systems that empty
transfer trucks by raising the front end of the transfer trailer to an approximate 45 degree angle with the
ground surface). Slopes steeper than one percent can create dangerous situation where the tippers,
when extended, can become unstable. Utilizing a one percent slope reduces this potential significantly
while still maintaining surface water runoff control.

Tab 4 Design Report

The master development design, geological investigation and operating experience have confirmed the
adequacy and availability of soil for use in the landfill operations. Cover soils have been obtained from
the blasting excavation, crushing, and screening operations on site since operations began.
4.14.1.1.2 Alternative Materials
Currently, soil is used as cover. In addition to soil, Republic is requesting authorization to use the
following Alternative Materials for cover in the future:
Synthetic liner materials
Spray-on or spread-on binder materials sold in the industry as alternatives to dirt cover
Treated Auto Shredder Waste
Non-Putrescible C&D Material
Processed wood
Material Recovery Facility Fines
Imported Soil
Solidified Septic Liquid Waste
Crushed or Ground Concrete
Greenwaste
When one of the alternative materials proposed for cover is to be utilized by Republic, specific information
regarding the material and its use will be submitted to SNHD prior to implementation.
Based on inspections by the SNHD, the continuous waste placement operations for control of vectors will
be assessed. If additional operating criteria or revisions to the existing operations are identified to
increase the control of vectors, Republic will work with SNHD to implement additional controls or revise
operations as necessary.
4.14.1.1.3 Waiver
A waiver of cover requirements is not requested at this time, but Republic reserves the right to seek a
waiver in case of extreme conditions. The waiver being requested for the interim one percent slopes is
provided in Tab 10.17
4.14.1.1.4 Interim Cover
A minimum of 12 inches of soil will be in place to function as intermediate cover over areas that will not
receive waste for more than 90 days.
4.14.1.1.5 Integrity of Daily and Intermediate Cover
Cover in operating areas is monitored and deficient areas are repaired immediately.

Tab 4 Design Report

4.14.1.1.6 Grade Daily and Temporary Cover
Republic is requesting that interim refuse slopes used for unloading of waste be constructed with a
minimum slope of one percent refer to section 4.15.1.1.3. The requested one percent slopes facilitate the
safe operation of tippers (hydraulic systems that empty transfer trucks by raising the front end of the
transfer trailer to an approximate 45 degree angle with the ground surface). Slopes steeper than one
percent can create dangerous situation where the tippers, when extended, can become unstable. Utilizing
a one percent slope reduces this potential significantly while still maintaining surface water runoff control.
All final slopes will have a minimum slope of 3%.
4.14.1.1.7 Operating Day
Continuous operation means that at all times throughout each 24-hour period:
1) Waste is being received, placed, spread or compacted on the working surface of the site; and
2) At least one piece of heavy equipment is operating on the working surface of the site to spread or
compact the waste.
A request for approval of current operating procedures was made by Republic to the SNHD on November
1, 1999 and was subsequently approved.
4.14.2 Landfill Gas Control
LFG is drawn from vertical and horizontal wells up to 300 feet deep that tie into a header system that
conveys the LFG to the H
2
S removal system treat sulfur content. The LFG collection system consists of
vertical wells drilled through the waste and horizontal collectors that are installed during waste placement.
These collection systems are maintained under vacuum from a blower to convey the LFG to the
appropriate control technology. The vertical well and horizontal collectors are monitored monthly for flow
rate, temperature and methane content to determine the effectiveness of the extraction systems. From
the data collected, adjustments are made to the collection system to optimize collection.
The H
2
S facility is an enclosed building approximately 8,000 square feet equipped with H
2
S removal
equipment that is used to pretreat the LFG prior to combustion in turbines used to create electricity. The
elemental sulfur collected in the process will either be disposed of in the landfill or sold as a product
The electricity plant, located on 1.5 acres in the southwestern corner of the site, uses the treated LFG to
fuel two Solar Centaur 60 combustion turbines manufactured by Solar Turbines, a subsidiary of
Caterpillar Inc. LFG from the H

S treatment facility is filtered for moisture and particulates then is
compressed and injected into 5.5-megawatt air-cooled turbines that generate electricity. Emissions are
treated by a selective catalytic reduction process that removes harmful nitrogen oxides from the exhaust
plume.

As the landfill continues to expand, the energy production facility will also expand. The LFG flare is still in
place and is used for emergencies or to combust LFG collected beyond the capacity of the engines. All
LFG that is collected for disposal is permitted under Federal New Source Performance Standards.
Construction and operations of any control facility will have all proper local, state and federal permits prior
to operation.
Methane monitoring meters are located in the scalehouse, operations trailer, and the site operations
building. The combustible gas monitors are manufactured by Sierra Monitor Corporation. The H
2
S facility
also has a methane monitoring mere that is a sophisticated system is connected with the fire suppression
system. According to EPA's RCRA regulations, owners and operators of landfills subject to monitoring
requirements must ensure that the concentration of methane gas does not exceed 25% of the LEL for
methane (1.25% by volume) in indoor air samples collected in the facilities' structures.
4.14.2.1 Composting
Composting may be proposed for the site in the future. If proposed, a supplemental plan will be prepared
and submitted for review and approval prior to composting operations beginning.
4.14.3 Process Flow
In general, refuse brought to the site for disposal proceeds through the following steps:
1. Load checking occurs at the transfer stations for all transfer trailers.
2. One percent of Third-party Haul trucks are inspected at the scale house for prohibited

4.15 Water Protection
4.15.1 Industrial Waste Drainage Control
The site operates a bioremediation facility and a liquid solidification area at the site permitted under the
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NEV93011); refer to Tab 3.10. This permit authorizes the
site to treat non-hazardous petroleum contaminated liquids through the bioremediation facility and
nonhazardous and non-petroleum contaminated liquids through the liquid solidification area. The permit
also allows for disposal of petroleum contaminated soils. Treated material is disposed in the Apex Landfill.
The permit for this facility requires containment of the 25-yr, 24-hour storm and must be able to withstand
the 100-yr, 24-hour storm event. The facility has been designed to meet these standards. The facility is
operated to control odors and is maintained in good working order.
Petroleum contaminated waste water that is brought on site for disposal at the bioremediation facility is
discharged into one of ten double lined (second liner provides secondary containment) evaporation
ponds. The ponds are considered one continuous unit because the liner system is continuous throughout
the pond area with earthen berms separating the individual cells beneath the liner system. Petroleum
contaminated waste water disposed of is evaporated and any residuals are disposed of within the landfill.
The bioremediation facility encompasses approximately 7.5 acres and is located north of the
administration/maintenance building.
The liquid solidification area treats nonhazardous and nonpetroleum liquid wastes. These wastes are
deposited on a mixing floor and soil, sawdust, or other nonhazardous materials are mixed with the liquids
to reduce the moisture content. Once the moisture content is below 50% the resulting mixture is disposed
of in the landfill. The liquid solidification area is located south of MA 21, refer to figure 6 and Tab 8.6.
The Apex Regional Landfill maintains the following permits/authorizations, copies of which are available in
Tab 3, relating to industrial waste drainage:
Non Transient Non Community Groundwater Water System From the Division of
Environmental Protection Bureau of Safe Drinking Water. Permit #CL-0379-12NTNC

4.15.2 Leachate Control
Tab 16.1 presents the asbuilt and proposed base grades for the landfill along with the existing and
proposed leachate collection and removal system. Tab 16.3 contains the Operations and Maintenance
Manual for On-Site Storage Tanks that presents the leachate pumping and storage system for the entire
site. The asbuilt base grades were taken from the Construction Quality Assurance (CQA) Reports
prepared for each module that have been constructed and compiled into one drawing. Each of the CQA
Reports was stamped by a Nevada registered engineer certifying that they were constructed in
conformance with the approved construction plans and specifications.
Leachate drains through the Select Fill layer across the floor of the landfill on top of the geomembrane
liner until it intercepts collection trenches. These trenches consist of one foot deep v-ditches filled with
highly permeable drainage gravel that surrounds a perforated HPDE pipe. These v-ditches with the pipe
and surrounding gravel are sloped to convey leachate to dedicated sumps for extraction. Material
properties for the Select Fill and Gravel Fill are specified in the technical specifications for each cells
design. Soil permeability and pipe spacing are designed to limit leachate build-up over the geomembrane
below one foot. Minimum base slopes are 2 percent with a minimum 2 percent slope along drainage pipe
segments. Two existing sumps area located in MA-7 and MA-10, however leachate collected in the MA-
10 sump gravity drains to the MA-7 sump for extraction. Sumps are also proposed in the future MA-12
area and in MA-14 in the southeast corner of MA-East.
MA-0 through MA- 5 drain to a leachate tank in the northwest corner of MA-0 and will drain to the sump
in MA-26 once constructed. Leachate from this tank is pumped to the two 22,500 gallon tanks located
north of H
2
S facility. Leachate from these tanks is used for dust control or pumped to the solidification
ponds for evaporation.
Cell MA-21 gravity drains to a dedicated sump within the cell. Water trucks evacuate the leachate from
this sump daily and use it as dust control.
Leachate collected in the MA-7 sump (MA 6 through MA10) is currently pumped to three 6,500 gallon
tanks with secondary containment located near the northwest corner of MA-10. Water trucks evacuate the
tanks on a consistent basis and use it as dust control. In the future, a solar powered automatic pumping
system will be used to pump the leachate to the tanks located in the Northeast corner of MA10. A gravity
outlet pipe from the tanks enables water pulls or water trucks to load the leachate from overhead for use
as dust control on site. The tank area and loading area has been constructed with secondary containment
consisting of an HDPE geomembrane covered with an appropriate amount of soil to protect it from
damage. An HDPE pipe will is booted through the secondary containment liner and connected to the
LCRS riser pipe in the northeast corner of MA-10. This provides a gravity drainage point for any leaked or
spilled leachate in the tank storage area. Refer to Tab 16, Drawings 1-4. The current and future pumps
J une 2014

Tab 4 Design Report

are and will be actuated with pressure transducers that are set to turn the pump on when the sump is
filled to a point where the head over the liner is just below one foot.
Leachate generated within the previously permitted Class III IA 1, 2 gravity flows into the Class I MA
21 leachate collection system. The liner systems of these two areas were connected during the
construction of MA 21.
Other sumps are planned for MA-20, MA-27, MA-28-29, MA-30-31, MA-32 and two sumps in MA-north for
a total of 12 sumps for the entire site at closure.
The Apex Regional Landfill is not located within 1,000 feet of any naturally occurring surface water.
Based on the hydrogeologic investigations performed at the site by Vector Engineering and groundwater
monitoring well information, the uppermost aquifer ranges from 400 to 500 feet below ground surface
(Design Report, Vector Engineering, March 1997). The Apex Regional Landfill satisfies both the distance
to surface water and the uppermost aquifer requirements.
New solid waste landfill units must meet the Design Criteria of NAC 444.681 that requires a composite
liner or "a design approved by the solid waste management authority that is sufficient to protect the
waters of the State from degradation by pollutants or contaminates." A design consisting of a
geomembrane over a 6-inch thick bedding layer was approved by the Southern Nevada District Board of
Health on March 22, 1994. This same approval allowed for no liner to be placed on slopes 2:1 or steeper.
As required by NAC 444.681(2) the approval was based on the consideration of hydrogeologic
characteristics, climate and leachate characteristics.
The hydrogeologic characteristics and climate remain unchanged from the original alternative liner
demonstration. Now that the landfill has been operating for over 18 years, the amount of leachate
collected has been updated. The leachate production averages approximately 40 to 50 gallons per acre
per day (gpad). This average is sometimes exceeded during the winter months when heavy storms
infiltrate into the LCRS of partially filled cells. This condition is not common and is not an indication of
average leachate flows at the site. Based on the leakage evaluation methods presented by Vector, this
amount of leachate can still be considered negligible in the landfill and is anticipated to decrease over
time and cells are brought to final grade and closed. Based on the earlier Vector evaluation, updated site
information, and approval from the SNHD the previously approved alternative liner has been used for all
of MA-East cells constructed to date.
A copy of the Leachate Management Plan is presented in Tab 16.4.

4.15.3 Run-On and Run-Off Control
Stormwater controls are designed as cells are constructed and final grades are achieved at the landfill. A
master drainage plan that calculates flows and sizes pipes and ditches has not been completed to date
due to the service life of the landfill, estimated at greater than 200 years, and the potential for changes to
take place to the landfill configuration over the next 50 to 100 years. The current active area, MA-East,
storm water control system has been designed to discharge storm water flow from the southern facing
slope into the southern retention basins. All storm water that will fall on the northern slopes of MA-East
will be collected and discharge to the wash area to the north of the landfill.
Stormwater retention basins are also planned for the southern limit of the landfill along MA-27 and MA-28.
These basins would function in the same manner as the permitted MA-East basins. These basins are
planned to be designed and permitted as the site develops over time.
The MA-South, MA-West and MA-North areas planned for refuse disposal are planned to be constructed
with 3:1 (horizontal to vertical) slopes with 20-foot wide benches placed every 50 vertical feet or as
needed for access and to limit erosion. The benches will convey storm water to dedicated pipe
downdrains. These downdrains will transport the storm water down the slopes to the base of the landfill
and discharge it to a perimeter storm water control ditch located along the perimeter access road.
Stormwater will travel in dedicated ditches along the perimeter access road to low points where it will
discharge to natural drainage ways surrounding the site. The size and type of ditch lining will be
determined as the site expands. Refer to Tab 8.13, Figure 13 and 14 for the current and proposed storm
water drainage plan for the site respectively. As the site develops a new disposal areas are constructed
updated drainage plans will be submitted to the SNHD for review and approval at the time the design
plans are submitted.
4.15.3.1 Permitted Retention Basins
The permitted retention basins located along the southern perimeter of MA-East have been designed
utilizing the Army Corp of Engineers, HEC-HMS modeling program. The basins were sized to
accommodate the flow from a 500-yr, 24-hr storm event followed by a 25-yr, 24-hr storm event. This
conservative design criterion was selected to eliminate the need for permanent spillways. It should also
be noted that once the waste in the MA-East area is filled above the top of the retention basin berm, there
is no potential for overflow from the basin areas even from a Probable Maximum Precipitation event. Dam
permits are included in Tab 3.9.
4.15.3.2 Design Storm
The procedures listed in the Clark County Regional Flood Control District (CCRFCD) Hydrologic Criteria
and Drainage Design Manual (August 1999) have been used to determine the appropriate design storm
depth and distribution for the design of drainage structures at the Apex Regional Landfill. The basis for
J une 2014

hydrological analysis of the proposed design storm is the durations and frequencies of storms as listed in
the Precipitation Frequency Atlas of the Western United States - Volume VII-Nevada as required by NAC
444.6885, with an adjustment required by CCRFCD to account for more recent storm data. However, the
design storm was modified slightly following procedures developed for the nearby Sunrise Mountain
Landfill in Las Vegas, Nevada (EMCON, 1999). This modification effectively increases the intensities of
shorter duration intervals within the storm, while maintaining the design storm depth.
The Army Corps of Engineers HEC-HMS precipitation model, a widely accepted standard for hydrological
modeling, uses the precipitation depths stated in the table below to simulate the 25-year and 500-year
storms. The 25-year storm is used to size drainage improvements per NAC regulations. The 500-year
storm was used to size the retention basins. The table also compares the design storm to maximum
precipitation depths observed in the Las Vegas vicinity.

4.15.3.3 Detention Basin
The primary run-on controls for MA-East are the detention basins south of the landfill area. Shaw
Environmental Inc. (Shaw) designed two retention basins to accommodate a 500-year, 24-hour storm
followed by a 25-year, 24-hour storm. These retention basins have been designed to accommodate both
run-on from off-site areas and run-off from the south side of the landfill. Both retention basins are located
at the toe of the south side of the landfill and both basins take advantage of the existing contours to
reduce the amount of excavation and earthfill. No earthwork is required outside the property boundaries
of the Apex landfill.
The retention basins were configured so that the initial storage was set to zero (empty), storage
capacities were entered for elevations every 10 feet, and the outflow was specified to be zero (no outlet).
In the case of the 500-year storm followed by the 25-year storm, the final storage in the retention basin
due to the 500-year storm was entered as the initial storage of the retention basin, and the model was

then re-run for a 25-year storm. No reduction in the stored volume due to evaporation or percolation from
the ponded water was included in the analysis.
The western retention basin has a storage capacity of 25.3 acre-feet (ac-ft), and the eastern basin has a
storage capacity of 278.7 ac-ft. Available capacities were determined based on criteria to maintain the
water surface below the perimeter road at the top of the berm. Under the 25-year storm event, the peak
storage for the western and eastern basins is 3.19 ac-ft and 74 ac-ft, respectively. For the worst case
500-year plus 25-year event, the peak storage is 10.3 ac-ft and 239.7 ac-ft; still below the ultimate basin
capacities. The earthfill berm along the south side of the landfill effectively creates basins large enough
to contain run-on from the worst-case design event.
The complete design of the basins is included in the Submittal of Dam Application for Review by the
State of Nevada Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Shaw (February 13, 2007).
Future basins are proposed to be designed with similar design criteria and will be approved by the State
of Nevada Division of Water Resources.
Once refuse is placed in the area between IA-1/2 and MA-21, a depression will be created that will not
have an outlet. To remedy this situation, a plan for regrading this area has been developed to raise the
grades in the immediate area by placing earthfill and forcing the storm water that falls in this area to flow
to the existing retention basin to the east, Refer to Figure 10-3 in Tab 10.6. This grading will be completed
once the refuse slopes are in place and final cover is installed over the slopes.
4.15.4 Water Monitoring
Tab 17.1 includes a drawing which shows the location of groundwater monitoring wells and associated
boring logs. The groundwater monitoring program at the Apex Regional Landfill was established in
accordance with NAC 444.683 for Class I sites and incorporate the requirements of NAC 444.741 for
Class III sites. A copy of the approved groundwater monitoring plan is included in Tab 17.2.
The groundwater monitoring system at the Apex Regional Landfill consists of four wells permitted as
active production wells located and screened to provide groundwater samples from the uppermost water-
producing horizon.
One upgradient well (Well #6) is located at the south-central boundary of the landfill; two downgradient
wells (currently Wells #2 and #7) are located at the northern boundary of the existing waste fill, and one
farther downgradient (Well #5) at the northern limit of the landfill. Refer to Tab 17 for the location of the
wells and logs presenting the construction of the wells. The northerly groundwater gradient for the landfill
area is coincident with the regional flow direction. Based on the site hydrogeologic information acquired
during drilling, it is expected that water is sampled from fractured bedrock. The "aquifer" is a water-

bearing structural zone, probably hosted by limestone. Thickness of this producing zone is approximated
to range from 30 to 100 feet. Monitoring well yields range from 5 to 200 gallons per minute (gpm). Static
water levels are at depths greater than 450 feet, and, currently, the production zones sampled are at
depths greater than 700 feet. However, sampling intervals in all wells coincide with the uppermost
"aquifer" encountered.
Based on the available data, the four wells encounter the same source of water, regardless of the depth
below surface at which the first water-bearing zones were encountered. The shallowest water-bearing
zone in each well that produced usable quantities of water was screened and sampled. Because of this,
screened intervals are not at the same depth in upgradient and downgradient wells.
Samples are taken semiannually for testing and reports are submitted to the SNHD semiannually.
